Ka-Zar

Ka-Zar is Kevin Plunder, a British nobleman raised in the Savage Land — a hidden prehistoric jungle beneath Antarctica — after his father was murdered there. Bonded with his loyal sabretooth tiger Zabu, he became a fierce jungle lord and protector of the Savage Land's ancient wildlife.

Ka-Zar leaps into the catalog through Marvel Klassik #3 in 1998, a Stan Lee and Jack Kirby creation brought to German-language readers by Hachette's impressive reprint program — and what distinguished company this wild adventurer keeps, sharing pages with the likes of Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Thor Odinsohn, Kevin Plunder, and the legendary sabretooth tiger Zabu. Appearing most frequently across Marvel Origins, Der sensationelle Spider-Man, and Spider-Man Komplett, Ka-Zar's 14 catalog appearances span a remarkable 28 years of publication history, with one collector-significant key issue among them. For fans of classic Marvel adventuring in the European reprint tradition, Ka-Zar is a thrilling discovery — a character whose Lee-and-Kirby pedigree alone makes every appearance worth seeking out.
